autan 737 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I see your point, E. I still think we end up with a handful of top 100 players we are fighting for til the end, and I expect we'll have a big class, if we get them.. I'm referring to a top notch WR, OL, DT and maybe a DB, not necessarily all on our current radar in a major way. Sounds good to me! We have to have some mystery on NSD. True. I don't think the prospects I'm referring to will be mysterious though. When the dust settles from Big Cat and we're about a month into the season, we may be down to 6 spots in the class. If we don't add any more this month, we'll be able to sign 29 next year, assuming 4 early enrolee guys. What if one or two don't qualify? Does that increase the number for next year?

aufootball1 42 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 My guess is McBryde falls into the bammer slug of LB's and I hope Holland comes to the good guys! War Eagle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,091 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 What if one or two don't qualify? Does that increase the number for next year? No.Per the new rules signees count against a team's yearly limit even if they don't qualify per the new rules as of about 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like the recruitment of TT. But I think AU is just out recruiting UF for Holland right now. With the work ethic that we have seen from Malzahn (either directly or through the results on the field), this is not surprising, but it definitely puts a smile on my face. I have always been a proponent of the "give 110% effort, 110% of the time" mentality of outworking your opponent, no matter the situation. On Holland: I know that I was wary of the celebrations on his film early on, but I have grown to love the intensity and drive this guy has. For the first time ever, I have been wrong. I'm not sure how accepting the fan base will be of another J. Holland playing LB (I don't think that a lot of people realize how much Jake did for the defense this year in getting everyone lined up, but that's just me), but this kid definitely has the skills to be a solid SEC LB.

If there is a fan base that can't accept the apparent differences between the two hollands, then they must think prune juice and pineapple juice are the same.... just because they both start with a "p" and end with juice.

aubearcat 2,137 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 AUE2016, while not on the subject of Holland, I will share a tid bit I was told about coach Malzahn and his work ethic. While speaking with a gentleman who was an offensive ga on Tubberville's offensive staff during the Borges era, I asked him about Gus. This young man is from Arkansas and was 6A qb of the year the same year that Rhett was a senior and 2A qb of the year. He said coach Malzahn is as nice and genuine in person as he appears to be in the media. He also said that Gus will NOT be out worked. He said Gus is constantly working on and thinking about football. He said when he was on Tubberville's staff they'd have off months of staff family vacations and duck hunts and grill offs. He said none of that will happen during Gus' time at AUburn because he'll be to busy working on football. I thought it was very interesting insight he had about Gus. Encouraging as well.

I know the staff must keep functioning but I hope they rotate so that each and every one of them gets several weeks off to do whatever they want every year.
